Manchester, assembled at Crunp's
Office, on Hull street near Third, last
night for the purpose of electing dele
gates to the senatorial and legislative

'nious, was presided over 10y Ward

REFORM TICKET.
The Manchester Reform Club at it'
meeting Tuesday night nominated the
following ticket to be voted for at the
coming election: For the Senate -
Marcus i. Lloyd. For the House
A. b. Tyson and W. II. Sampson. The
counties Of Chesterfield and Powhatan
are in this House district, and the
county of Goochland, with those above
named. comes in the senatorial district
Ali of the candidates named above re-
side in Manchester.
Mr.. Lloyd has always been a Simon
pure Republican. The other two gen
tlemen have only strayed from the
Democratic fold since the days of re
adjustment, and their sfiiliation witt
the Reformers or Independents is duo
to their desiie to benefit the iaboring
man Whether this ticket will remair
in the field remains to be seen.
Republican conventions will be held
in Manchester on the 14th instant tc
nominate ticket. Mr.. Lloyd will &c
into this as a candidate for the Senate
and, if nominated, will run on the two
tickets. Should he be defeated in the
convention 10y Major Walker, who
will come with the Chesterfield delega
tion at his back, Mr. Lloyd will still
be the Reformers' candidate. 1t wa
hoped that the Manchester Reform In
dependent Republicans experience il
the municipal contest last year would
satisfy them.
